StopMo The Movie From Supinfocom Arles

Another great animated short from the French Supinfocom Arles, “StopMo” tells the tale of an archaeologist that rediscovers a long long Visual Effects studio buried in the ice.  While attempting to recover a film reel she accidentaly awakens the machines in the studio, and Old fights New as a stop-motion Gorilla fights a CG & Animatronic Dinosaur.

An interesting mix of old and new technology as they actually composite stop-motion photography with CG scenes and characters, see it after the break.
